My Vulnerability

My Whole Heart

It's been six months since you passed and I still miss you more than ever

Every heartache makes me think the pain from losing you will last forever

I still regret not spending enough time with you while you were still here

Every time I reminiscence on our memories I start to shed a tear

I wish I took the time to get to know you better and learn about my roots

Like who my Chinese great-grandpa was and did he also liked mango juice

Wish I learned the story of how our last name went from Chong to Veloso

Or any other stories that I never took the time to learn and know

I miss sitting in the living room watching Jackie Chan movies with you

I miss hearing your stories about my dad when you all lived in Cebu

I miss hearing you laugh and seeing your face light up when you smile

I miss hearing about your teaching days and all about your old lifestyle

I admired how close you were to your faith and how you prayed every day

It was something I saw you do every time I passed by your doorway

I seriously miss you so much and will love you forever and always

And I'll continue to pray and keep you in my heart for the rest of my days
